{"title":"La rinascita della tragedia dallo spirito del blues nel teatro di August Wilson","authors":"Valentina Rapetti","doi":"10.17456/SIMPLE-163","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17456/SIMPLE-163","url":null,"abstract":"Nato nel 1945 a Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, August Wilson e stato il drammaturgo afroamericano piu prolifico e rappresentato del Novecento. Il Century Cycle , un corpus di dieci testi teatrali che ripercorre la storia afroamericana del ventesimo secolo, e espressione del realismo spirituale di Wilson, un tipo di teatro che, pur aderendo alla tradizione realista euroamericana, vi immette elementi di innovazione ispirati alla musica blues e alla cosmologia Yoruba. Il saggio prende in analisi questa duplice matrice culturale per dimostrare come la drammaturgia di Wilson, pur tenendo fede al principio aristotelico della mimesis che governa il dramma realista, sia permeata da un’estetica nera. Nel concepire un teatro in cui musica e parola si compenetrano in un contesto performativo rituale, Wilson ripristina l’armonia tra dionisiaco e apollineo auspicata da Friedrich Nietzsche, rianimando quello che secondo il filosofo tedesco era lo spirito primigenio della tragedia greca e immettendo al tempo stesso un ethos inconfondibilmente afroamericano nel canone teatrale occidentale.

This study aims to show that many symptoms listed in Beck’s Inventory for Measuring Depression (sixteen out of twenty-one) are recognizable – at different levels of signifier and signified – in both the poetical structure and the imagery of the poem, whereas specific aspects included in Cognitive Therapy of Depression (for instance, the cognitive process defined by Beck as “Faulty Information Processing” and two crucial points of this process, “Selective abstraction” and “Arbitrary inference”) are identifiable in some of the most relevant figurative isotopies of the poem.

Monaco","doi":"10.17456/SIMPLE-159","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17456/SIMPLE-159","url":null,"abstract":"L’articolo esplora il romanzo di esordio di Namwali Serpell, The Old Drift (2019), attraverso la lente della ‘memoria del palinsesto’, individuando l’interconnessione tra memoria e migrazione. In primo luogo, si analizza il rapporto dialettico tra tempo eonico e alcuni elementi paratestuali che, nel tentativo di stabilire ordine e guidare il lettore, sembrano imitare ed evocare la stessa trama intricata del palinsesto. Quindi, si discute l’oscillazione tra narrazione extradiegetica e intradiegetica e l’uso del modello del romanzo multi-generazionale, mettendone in luce il carattere palinsestico in cui varie generazioni e storie diverse si intersecano, generando una spirale che rifrange le traiettorie multiple e invisibili del tempo.

L’articolo sottolinea l’importanza di un approccio al testo letterario che tenga presente aspetti linguistici per svelare complesse questioni identitarie. In quest’ottica, viene presentata un’analisi preliminare di alcuni racconti tratti da The Adivasi Will Not Dance (2017) di Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar, uno scrittore della comunita adivasi, i cosiddetti ‘tribali’. I racconti, che descrivono lo sfruttamento di tale comunita, presentano una notevole ricchezza stilistica grazie al Indian English, ai prestiti dalla lingua santhali, e al gioco fra i vari registri del testo.

A tale scopo, sono stati selezionati quattro fora online di auto-aiuto dedicati a varie malattie mentali, tra cui la depressione. I dati raccolti sono stati interpretati alla luce dei principi cardine della Teoria della Metafora Concettuale e della Teoria psicologica dell’Auto-determinazione. La combinazione di questi due quadri teorici permette, in primo luogo, di individuare modelli metaforici ricorrenti nella comprensione della depressione e, in secondo luogo, di discernere una dimensione psichica armonica da una problematica per il benessere psicologico della persona.
